Tellin' Tales Theatre presents Six Stories Up in Haunted Chicago

Can a bunch of middle school kids solve Chicago’s problems? Find out in Tellin’ Tales Theatre’s Halloween musical written and performed by middle school students and their adult mentors with and without disabilities. Six Stories Up in Haunted Chicago finds kids on a ghost tour that takes a turn toward the scary when they stop at Resurrection Cemetery. They meet famous Chicago ghosts who have a lot to say about the current state of our city. These spirits include Al Capone, John Belushi, Resurrection Mary, Malcolm X, opera singer Mary Garden and playwright Lorraine Hansberry. The result is a hilarious and often moving musical peppered with personal stories told by students and adults with cerebral palsy, blindness and dwarfism, as well as their non-disabled peers. Six Stories Up in Haunted Chicago is geared toward adults and children age nine and up and runs Friday-Sunday, October 13-22, at Filament Theatre, 4041 N. Milwaukee. Information and tickets are available at tellintales.org.
